She prides herself in providing very clinical work in a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Geri will work with your other health providers (PT’s, Trainers, Chiro, doctor, etc.) in order to provide the best approach and plan for your wellness. Her philosophy is that understanding the total person is important in identifying how day to day activities or habits can cause pain or discomfort.

Some of her specialties include Orthopedic Massage, Myofascial Release, Trigger Point therapy and Lymphatic Therapy.

She provides bodywork incorporating her diverse experience for such issues as neck, rotator cuff, back, post-surgery needs, jaw issues, tendonitis, and knee pain. Her rich set of skills and her ability to combine and customize these skills is what gives her the great results appreciated by her clients.

Sue

Sue is an experienced therapist with clinical skills that are complimented by Eastern Medicine. She performs traditional massage and also is certified in Advanced Shiatsu, which is her specialty. Shiatsu massage is based on pressure points located across a person’s body. The principles of shiatsu say that a person’s qi (pronounced “chee”) flows through meridians, or pathways, and that a therapist can release blockages or imbalances of qi by applying pressure to “vital points”—specific locations along the meridians. This release provides therapeutic results for the client. Sue’s style is very flowing with a great sense of touch to identify those trouble spots.
